World Of Chemistry 2nd Edition - Solutions by Chapter

One of the six kinds of arrow-pushing patterns used in drawing mechanisms for radical reactions. A radical adds to a p bond, destroying the p bond and generating a new radical.

Hydrocarbons that do not contain the benzene group or the benzene ring. (24.1)

A substance that forms complex ions with metal ions in solution. (23.3)

Compounds containing only covalent bonds. (9.4)

Tools that are used for drawing resonance structures and for showing the flow of electron density during each step of a reaction mechanism.

A compound that rotates plane-polarized light in a clockwise direction (+).

A model for the behavior of electrons in metals. (Section 12.4)

The process by which a protein adopts its biologically active shape. (Section 24.7)

The relationship among the pH, pKa, and the concentrations of acid and conjugate base in an aqueous solution: pH = pKa + log 3base4 3acid4. (Section 17.2)

The predominant form of the proton in aqueous solution. (Section 16.2)

The energy required to remove an electron from a gaseous atom when the atom is in its ground state. (Section 7.4)

A carbohydrate for which the chirality center farthest from the carbonyl group will have an OH group pointing to the left in the Fischer projection.

A CH group.

A simple sugar, most commonly containing six carbon atoms. The joining together of monosaccharide units by condensation reactions results in formation of polysaccharides. (Section 24.8)

A positive or negative whole number assigned to an element in a molecule or ion on the basis of a set of formal rules; to some degree it reflects the positive or negative character of that atom. (Section 4.4)

A term describing a consideration that must be taken into account for a reaction in which two or more constitutional isomers can be formed.

The absorption of electromagnetic radiation by a precessing nucleus and the resulting “fl ip” of its nuclear spin from the lower energy state to the higher energy state.

The conversion of an aryl diazonium salt into fluorobenzene upon treatment with fluoroboric acid (HBF4).

An alternative name for an imine

The difference in energy between staggered and eclipsed conformations (for example, in ethane).
